Epidemiology serves as a key discipline in team science and in problem-based learning. We view the use of epidemiology in translational science as a critical perspective and set of research methods that will move basic scientific discoveries to practical clinical applications and the dissemination of new basic and clinical knowledge to population health settings. A central goal is to leverage the highly interdisciplinary nature of UCSF and adopt a transdisciplinary approach to graduate education.
Training Programs
